Got my blades when I came home for lunch. I put the metal cutting blade on my saw when I got back to work.. Wow! What a smooth, easy cutting blade. Thanks for the recommendation and the great service. I'm a happy shopper. From: Tom N.

Glue Joint Rip Blades are designed for ripping solid wood when you require an extra-smooth cut such as cutting solid pieces that will be glued together. The tight manufacturing tolerances of Popular Tool blades and a runout of .002" or less, will provide smooth rip cuts.

Blades have a 20º hook angle and should be used for rip cuts only. Glue joint rip saw blades can be bored out to fit most gang rip saws.
